    This place was awesome and on point...soon as we got their we were seated, asked what we liked to drink, coffee was ready, waiters were awesome, and food was ready to be served within ten minutes of all the family being their to eat after my great aunts funeral! The food was delicious, meat balls were yummy, salad wasn't soggy, pasta with sauce was right, egg plant parm was magnificent, chicken was good, and they even let us take food home..so their were left overs to devour lol

    I was here recently for a family gathering and took some time to walk around and take a few pictures to get a sense of the place. San Carlo is a two floor catering hall that is partitioned into individual rooms, most of which seemed on the small side. They served meals buffet style and the staff was quick and helpful. The food was ok and the ambience was nice but the venue seems a bit dated. It could use some work as there are visible scuff marks and damage to most of the walls and the one bathroom looks like the one from my high school. Parking is very tight and very scarce (we parked on a side street). Honestly, I think 3 stars gets a bad rap- this place was not bad by any stretch of the imagination and it's a suitable place with plenty of opportunity for improvement.

I give the team a lot of credit for pivoting when it was clear The Hudson Rose wasn't going to take, but Nutley still exists a few steps below Montclair and Maplewood in this regard. A post-pandemic restaurant needs certainty and needs to minimize the weird lulls that now exist in the dining calendar. Bacarosa had the product and service, but there just weren't the logistics to drive this kind of scale. Nutley's always been kinder to the smaller places on Franklin Avenue, and I think that's still where it sits as a dining destination. That's no fault of the staff or product, but that makes it very difficult to manage overhead on this space, quality, and staffing. I don't look forward to this space inevitably taking a step back to its Gondola/Peter the Great banquet hall days of yesteryear, but The Franklin Steakhouse set a poor precedent by moving from its cozy spot just north of here to a space that could hold two of its former locations. I wish this team the best and hope we see them in this corner of the county again sometime. Thank you for giving the place the quality it deserved, even if the traffic just wasn't there.

    I have been to Mamma Vittoria twice. Schools in Nutley have a lot of their student events there…read more This last time I visited was for a repass. I was pleasantly surprised that they had roast pork as one of the entrées in the buffet. I don't typically think of that being an Italian dish, but regardless it was really delicious and that made me happy! They also had chicken francaise amongst other dishes. I must say that I consider myself a chicken francaise connoisseur. Lol! That is my favorite Italian dish and what I always pick when I go to an Italian restaurant. I found this particular chicken franchise to be just OK because the chicken was on the thick side and I like it thin. I also thought there should be a bit more sauce in the container it was in. I do remember that the other time I was there the chicken francaise was thick as well. Otherwise, the restaurant is fine as they have ample parking, though the spots are tight. Service was attentive and I do recommend the restaurant for any party or event.

In February 2026 she received an email stating that due to the time of year and demand, the price would have to be increased which came to an additional $700 for the party. Obviously my daughter-in-law cancelled. That then made it impossible to find another venue. This is no way to do business.
